Proverbs 15
1 A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth up fury.
O KA olelo akahai, oia ke pale ae i ka huhu; O ka olelo huhu hoi, oia ke hoala ae i ka inaina.
2 The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth of fools bubbleth out folly.
O ke elelo o ka poe akamai, hoike pololei aku ia i ka ike; O ka waha hoi o ka poe lapuwale, hu ae la ia i ka lapuwale.
3 The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.
Ma na wahi a pau na maka o Iehova, E haka pono ana i na mea hewa a me na mea maikai
4 A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.
O ke elelo akahai oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka awahia iloko o ia mea, oia ka nahae ana o ka uhane.
5 A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.
Hoowahawaha ka mea lapuwale i ke aoia mai e kona makua, O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai, oia ka mea naauao.
6 The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.
O ka hale o ka mea pono, he waiwai nui; Ma na mea i hoahuia e ka mea hewa, he poino.
7 The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.
O na lehelehe o ka poe akamai hoolaha no i ka ike; O ka naau o ka poe lapuwale, aole pela.
8 The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
O ka mohai o ka poe hewa, he hoopailua ia ia Iehova; O ka pule a ka poe pololei, oia kona makemake.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
He hoopailua ia Iehova ka aoao o ka mea hewa; O ka mea hahai mahope o ka pono, oia kana mea i aloha ai.
10 Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.
O ka hoopaiia mai, he mea kaumaha ia i ka mea haalele i ka aoao; O ka mea hoowahawaha hoi i ke aoia mai, e make oia.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
O ka lua a me ka make, aia no imua o Iehova; Pela io no ka naau o na keiki a na kanaka. (Sheol h7585)
12 A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor will he go to the wise.
Aole i aloha aku ka mea hoowahawaha i ka mea i ao mai ia ia; Aole hoi oia e hele i ka poe naauao.
13 A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by grief of mind the spirit is cast down.
Ina olioli ka naau, oluolu no hoi ka maka; A i kaumaha ka naau, nahae no ka uhane.
14 The heart of the wise seeketh instruction: and the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
O ka naau o ka mea naauao, imi oia i ka ike; O ka waha o ka poe naaupo, paina no ia i ka lapuwale.
15 All the days of the poor are evil: a secure mind is like a continual feast.
Poino no na la a pau o ka poe popilikia; O ka mea naau oluolu, he ahaaina mau no kana.
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content,
Maikai kahi mea iki me ka makau ia Iehova, Mamua o ka waiwai nui ke pili pu me ka hakaka.
17 It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than to a fatted calf with hatred.
Maikai kahi launahele ke ai me ke aloha pu kekahi, Mamua o ka bipi momona, ina he inaina hoi kekahi.
18 A passionate man stirreth up strifes: he that is patient appeaseth those that are stirred up.
O ke kanaka huhu, oia ke hoala ae i ka hakaka; O ka mea akahele ka huhu, hoomalielie oia i ka hakaka.
19 The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; the way of the just is without offence.
O ka aoao o ka mea palaualelo, ua like ia me kahi paapu i na kakalaioa; O ka aoao hoi o ka poe pololei ua hooponoponoia.
20 A wise son maketh a father joyful: but the foolish man despiseth his mother.
O ke keiki akamai, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ke kanaka lapuwale, hoowahawaha oia i kona makuwahine.
21 Folly is joy to the fool: and the wise man maketh straight his steps.
O ka hana lapuwale, he olioli ia i ka naaupo; O ke kanaka naauao hoi, oia ka i hele pololei.
22 Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.
Hill hewa na manao, ke ole ke kukakuka ana; A i ka nui o ka poe kukakuka, e paa no.
23 A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.
He olioli ko ke kanaka ma ka pane ana o kona waha; O ka huaolelo hoi i ka wa kupono, ua maikai ia.
O ke ala o ke ola, malaila e pii ai ka poe naauao, I pakele ae i ka malu make malalo. (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.
O ka hale o ka poe haaheo, na Iehova ia e hoohiolo; Hookupaa oia i ka mokuna aina o ka wahinekanemake.
26 Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.
He hoopailua ia Iehova na manao o ka mea hewa; He oluolu nae ka olelo a ka poe maemae.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.
O ka mea makee waiwai, hana ino loa oia i ko kona hale; A o ka mea hoowahawaha i na makana, e ola ia.
28 The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.
O ka naau o ka mea pono, noonoo ia i kaua mea e olelo aku ai; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, hu ae la ia i ka ino.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the prayers of the just.
Ua loihi e aku o Iehova mai ka poe hewa aku; Hoolohe hoi oia i ka pule a ka poe pono.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the soul: a good name maketh the bones fat.
O ka malamalama o na maka, he mea ia e olioli ai ka naau; A o ka lohe i ka mea maikai, oia ka mea e momona ai na iwi.
31 The ear that heareth the reproofs of life, shall abide in the midst of the wise.
O ka pepeiao o lohe ana i ke aoia mai no ke ola, Noho mau ia iwaena o ka poe naauao.
32 He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.
O ka mea hoole i ke aoia mai, oia ka i hoowahawaha i kona uhane iho; O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai e loaa ia ia ka naauao.
33 The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.
O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka ike ana i ka naauao: O ka naau haahaa mamua ia o ka mahaloia mai.
